Ok I have made a slight progress. It seems that the BIOS was configured to
always use USB 2.0 (480Mbps), after switching to 12Mbps, the drive got
recognized by the kernel at /dev/cd8 but mountroot still failed (and
keyboard didnt work). Why cd8? I guess this is related to not using ehci
by default. Why are we still not supporting USB 2.0 out of the box?

Cheers,
Petr
